An overcast morning with a fresh to strong south-westerly, not my favourite conditions. The best chance seemed to be offered by the flash field, but not for the first time, it failed to deliver.
The three Shelduck were back, but Teal were down to nine, Coot still stuck on one, and not a single wader. Even the Lapwings have disappeared.
With the wind affecting the visibility of passerines, the morning had no feel good factor whatever. At least one of the six Chiffchaffs accrued on the circuit allowed the prospect of a photograph.

By this time last year several species of wader were occupying a flash with a muddy fringe, and things looked far more positive than they do now.
But then I had to stop visiting for six weeks. I wonder what I missed.
